2 1: Get Ready 1: Get Ready Equipment Ready the following: A WT-4 wireless transmitter A fully-charged EN-EL3e battery for the WT-4 A Nikon D3 or D300 digital SLR camera A fully-charged battery for the camera (an EN-EL4a for the D3, a EN-EL3e for the D300) A computer with Ultimate/Business/Enterprise edition, the WT-4 Setup Utility, and Internet Information Services (IIS) * installed A wireless LAN access point A LAN cable A memory card A USB cable Manuals for the above equipment Network Settings Note the IP addresses, encryption, and other settings that will be used in the wireless LAN. The following are intended as examples only. IP address for the WT-4: IP address for the ftp server: IP address of the wireless LAN access point: Subnet mask: FTP server port: 21 Network name (SSID): WT-4 Communication mode: Infrastructure Authentication: WPA-PSK Encryption: TKIP Encryption key: abcde123 *Internet Information Services (IIS) The Internet Information Services (IIS) supplied with Ultimate/Business/Enterprise can be used to create an ftp server; for more information, see Installing IIS (available under separate cover). 2

3 2: Assign the ftp Server an IP Address 2: Assign the ftp Server an IP Address Choose an address for the ftp server. The following IP address is intended as an example only. IP address: Subnet mask: TCP port: Open the Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center control panel. 2-2 Select Manage network connections. 2-3 Right-click the network icon (Wireless Network Connection if the access point and ftp server are connected via a wireless network, Local Area Connection if the access point is connected by a LAN cable) and select Properties from the menu that appears. A User Account Control dialog will be displayed; click Continue. 3

4 2: Assign the ftp Server an IP Address 2-4 Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IP) and click Properties. 2-5 Select Use the following IP address and enter the IP address and subnet mask for the ftp server. Click OK to exit and then click OK to close the properties dialog. This completes the process of assigning an IP address to the ftp server. 4

5 3: Create an ftp Server 3: Create an ftp Server 3-1 Go to the System and Maintenance > Administrative Tools control panel. 3-2 Double-click Internet Information Servers (IIS) 6.0 Manager. A User Account Control dialog will be displayed; click Continue. 3-3 Right-click Default FTP Site and select Properties from the menu that appears. 5

6 3: Create an ftp Server 3-4 Select the IP address entered in 2-5 (pg. 4) and enter a TCP port number. The port number is normally Open the Security Accounts tab. To allow anonymous connections, select Allow anonymous connections. * If you do not wish to allow anonymous connections, do not select this option. 3-6 Open the Home Directory tab and select A directory located on this computer. The root directory for images uploaded from the WT-4 is listed in the Local path text box; choose a folder and select Read, Write, and Log visits. A Local Path If Allow anonymous connections was selected in Step 3 5, you will not be authorized to access the default ftp home directory (the default directory is the \inetpub\ftproot folder on the drive to which Windowsis installed). and consequently will not be able to upload images. Create a folder in the root directory on the drive to which Windows is installed and select this folder as the home directory. 6

7 4: Configure the Wireless LAN Access Point 4: Configure the Wireless LAN Access Point Configure the wireless LAN access point as described below. For more information, see the documentation provided by the manufacturer. Network name (SSID): Enter the network identifier (network name or SSID), which may be up to 36 characters long. The network in this example uses the identifier WT-4. Wireless mode: Choose g or b. Channel: Automatic. Wireless security Authentication: Choose from open system, shared key, WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK. The network in this example uses WPA-PSK. Encryption: If you selected open system or shared key authentication, choose 64- or 128-bit WEP. If you selected WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK authentication, choose TKIP or AES. The network in this example uses TKIP. Encryption key: If you selected 64-bit WEP encryption, enter a 5-character ASCII or 10-digit hexadecimal key. If you selected 128-bit WEP encryption, enter a 13-character ASCII or 26-digit hexadecimal key. If you selected TKIP or AES, enter an ASCII key of from 8 to 63 characters or a 64-digit hexadecimal key. The network in this example uses abcde123. ANY connection: Enable this option to make the network SSID public. This makes it easier to connect to the network, but also makes the network less secure. This option may not be available on some access points. In this example, we will enable ANY connection. IP address: Turn any obtain automatically options off and enter the IP address manually. Be sure that the address is different from the addresses used for the ftp server and WT-4. The addresses for the access point, ftp server, and WT-4 must however belong to the same class. In this example, we will use the following address for the access point, while the ftp server and WT-4 are assigned and , respectively: IP address: Subnet mask: Default gateway: DNS server: MAC address: If the network uses MAC address filtering, the filter must be supplied with the MAC address of the WT-4. After attaching the WT-4 to the camera, turn the WT-4 on, select Wireless transmitter > Device info > MAC address from the camera setup menu, and note the MAC address. 7

Network name (SSID): Enter a name of up to 32 characters. The network in this example uses the identifier WT-4. Security type: Choose from No authentication (Open), WEP, WPA-Personal, and WPA2-Personal. WPA- Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise, and 802.1x can not be used with the WT-4. Encryption type: The type of encryption available depends on the options selected for Security type: - None (open system): None - WEP: WEP - WPA, WPA2: TKIP, AES Security key/passphrase: If WEP is selected for Security type, enter a 5- or 13-character ASCII key or 10- or 26- digit hexadecimal key. Entering a five-character ASCII or ten-digit hexadecimal key enables 64-bit encryption, a 13-character ASCII or 26-digit hexadecimal key 128-bit encryption. ASCII keys may contain letters, punctuation, and the numbers 0 9, hexadecimal keys the numbers 0 9 and the letters a, b, c, d, e, and f. If TKIP or AES is selected for Security type, enter an ASCII key of 8 to 63 characters or a 64-digit hexadecimal key. 9
